Las Vegas: Day 5

 Today we went to The Springs Preserve, Inn N Out, and the E. Mars Chocolate Factory. The Springs Reserve was neat because it had a lot of Vegas and Nevada history in a large park. Once again, we learned a lot about Nevada. Camille is in fourth grade which is the year they are supposed to learn about Colorado history. But now I feel like she knows more about Nevada than Colorado. Can that count?

This is the cactus garden outside the chocolate factory. Ben was in Heaven as it reminded him of his mission in Arizona.

Camille may have been bored with pictures by this point:

Do you see the workers in the back waving? We basically got a private tour with this gentleman, Chris. It was a very small factory, but really cool to see in action. Plus, we got some chocolate. 

This was the cat/dog exhibit in the museum at the Springs Preserve. Here they had to try and beat the time of a dog going in and out of the hurdles.

Camille got the fastest time:

We took a break to get some Inn N Out. There was a bit of a line, and we wouldn't say it was worth it. But, it was still fun to do.

A large part of the Preserve is dedicated to learning about water and drought. In this part, they got to "carry" water like they have to do in so many parts of the world.

The old town Nevada was really cool. We enjoyed that quite a bit!

The girls got to do some roulette, until Audra broke the machine!

Train ride around the Preserve:

The girls had fun just being kids and playing at the playground.
